Charter announces $668 million plans to expand broadband in rural areas, including ours March 4, 2021 11:47 AM Jourdan Vian Courtesy of Charter Communications LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) Charter Communications on Thursday announced plans to deliver high-speed internet to about 143,000 Wisconsin homes and businesses. Charter will invest $500 million of private funds and $168 million in Federal Communications Commission Rural Digital Opportunity Funds to provide gigabit high-speed broadband to areas that need it in our state. The new network will offer mostly rural customers 1Gbps  high-speed broadband access, with starting speeds of 200 Mbps, enabling them to engage in remote learning, work, telemedicine and other online activities that require high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity. Charter says it will continue to apply policies including no data caps, modem fees or annual contracts.

REC Seeks Partners for Expanded Broadband Services

REC Seeks Partners for Expanded Broadband Services Fredericksburg, Va. – Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) knows how important increasing access to retail broadband service is to its member-owners. The Cooperative continues to actively seek partnerships to utilize its infrastructure and rights-of-way to expand broadband internet service in its 22-county service area. As REC moves closer to establishing some of the first partnerships, the Cooperative also faced a major setback to its plans towards the end of 2020. In October, REC’s Board of Directors approved a $600 million broadband construction project that would also allow REC, through an affiliated company, to become a retail broadband service provider. Funding for the approved project was dependent on REC’s previously announced participation in the Federal Communications Commission Rural Digital Opportunity Fund auction.
